The Blues announced an exciting addition to their coaching staff today in the hiring of Marc Savard. Savard’s been working with the Peterborough Petes and played with Blues head coach Craig Berube during their time with the Calgary Flames.
As a player, Savard was an explosive talent for every team that he played for. Over 13 seasons and time spent with the Rangers, Flames, Thrashers, and Bruins, Savard netted 706 points (207 goals, 499 assists) in 807 career games. In his one year spent with the Thrashers, he tallied career totals in goals (28) and points (97) before being traded in the offseason to the Boston Bruins.
